    NPP is indispensable, it is the Windows killer-app.

    Congrats on the release!

    I have 200 unsaved notes just waiting in the memory guillotine for when something accidentally wipes them. I salute you, Notepad++.

    Congratulations to everyone involved! I don’t use Windows anymore, but when I did, NPP was one of the first things to get installed. Super useful.

      Same. I wonder if they’ll create a Linux port at some point (GTK themes?), because there just isn’t anything quite like it.

    I used Crimson Editor before I found Notepad++ and I can’t believe it’s been that long. Cheers to 20 years!

    I’ve switched from NPP years ago. Can somebody please explain why it’s so popular?

          Because of the snappiness – codium is no faster than code. For me, NPP is used for making single-word changes to a bunch of files in a row–like vim, but a GUI.
